The wigmaker's Establishment.

The sign "Combings. made up. - in a
showcase in which was displayed an as
sortment OF wigs, toupees, waves, bangs,
and false arrangements of hair OF every
conceivable pattern and color, caused
reporter to ascend to the second story
of building in Brooklyn the other DAY.
He found pretty girl sitting at table
on which lay peculiar looking combs
and brushes and many little packages
of hair.
What are combings, and how are
they made oat?" asked he scribe.
Have you ever noticed the cardboard
recepticles, trimmed with ribbon, that
ladies hang near their toilet tables?
Well, all that. the comb pulls out il
the hair are placed in those receivers.
When quantity is gathered they are
brought to US or some other hair artist
and made up into bangs, waves or
switches. that will perfectly match the
rest of the hair. We take the comb
bings and arrange them in orderly
punches, like the kind We buy, and then
make up as ordered. Watch how
make bang"
The girl placed the peices CT elastic
between two supports 30 that they were
stretched from four To ten inches in
length. Then she took wisps of hair
about four inches long and deftIy fast
ened them doubled On the elastic. Fly
of these on the elastics made a strip of
hair eight iDches long. The girl then
gave each lock of hair a twirl with her
fingers and it curled beautifully then
the elastics were taken off the supports.
The result was q bang of curly hair
four inches long and ready to be worn.
The hair curls because it is curly
hair" said The girl. I'VE buy it so or
lanky, as we want it. 1t costs about so
cents bunch, and a package will make
n bang, sometimes two. On squirt l
car make five dozen or so day. Bangs
retail for abaut 81 each. Waves are
made Of longer hair. They take more
time in making and sell from 81 up, &C.
cording to the fneness OF the hair, pat
tern and many other things. No, we
don't make any chignons now. but per-
haps We may soon, for the Grecian bend
bustles are coming back, and waterfalls
may come with them. Good morning.

The Sensations OF the Dying:

1t is doubtless the case that in many
irstances-and perhaps they are the ma
jority-dying persons lapse gradually
into an unconsciousnesS that ends their
bodily pain, and saves them from the
anguish Of the final parting with those
they leave behind. Itis not uncommon,
however. for clearness of comprehension
to persist to the last, and perhaps it is
still more common for some Of the special
senses to preserve their activity. We
think it was Ernest Wagner WHO, in his
General Pathology, dwelt particularly
on the preservation of the sense of hear
ing in many cases long after the apparent
occurrence OF Inconsistencies, aud who
tenderly cautioned, bis readers that this
possibility should be borne in mind. The
following touching account of the late
DR.. Wilson Fox's last moments, when
his friend, DIR. J. Russell REYNOLDS
was at his bedside, is given in the
Ldncet'S obituary: ION the next morn
Ing, when obviously and consciously
dying, and after his eyes had been fixed
for few minutes on the angle of the
room, and as some gray streaks of dawn
were entering it, he said suddenly ::
There is great light, a great glare of
light. 1 feel so strange =
glare OF light. What Is it, Rey-
nolds p The reply was : 1t is the
peace of Cod He grasped his friends
hand firmly and said: God bless
you.''

Speed OfPigeOns.

In 1912 pigeon flew from BellinssIos
III Ireland to Castle Bernard, distance
of twenty-three Irish miles, in elev5l
minutes, which gives the almost incred.
ible velocity of 160 English miles PEI

OF the common swift, which is wilhoH:

rate o. flight, however, must be regarl-
ed as altogether exceptional, since moth.

The Discovery OF Spectacles.

Fewer inventions have conferred a
greater blessing on the human race

The Shooting or StOnewaII Jackson at
Charlottesville.

| After midnight fell, StonewaIl Jack
son rode out with his staff to recon-
hotter il front OF the line he had gain
cd. 1t was his idea to stretch completely
around in the rear of Hooker and cut
him off from the river.
The night was dark and Jackson
soon came upon the Union lines. Their
infantry drove him back, and as he re-
! turned in the darkness, his own soldiers
began firing at their commander, of
course, mistaking his party for the
| enemy. Jackson was shot in the hand
and wrist, and in the upper arm at the
same time. His horse turned, and the
general lost his hold of the bridle-rein :;
his cap was brushed from his head by
the branches; he reeeled, and was
caught IL the arms of an officer. After
a moment he was assisted to dismoupt.
his wound was examined, and a litter
was brought. Just then the Union
artillery opened again, and a murder
Gus fire came down upon the party
through the woods and the darkness.
One of the litter-bearers stumbled and
fell, and the others were frightened
they laid the litter on the ground, the
furious storm of shot and shell sweep
ing over them like hail. Jackson at
tempted 10 rise, but his aid-de-camp
held him down till the tempest of fire
was lulled. Then the wounded Gen
ersl was helped to rise, and walked
few steps in the forest but be became
faint, and was laid again on his litter
Once he rolled to the ground. when an
assistant was shot, and the litter fell.
just then General Fender. one of his
suoordlnates, passed he stopped and
said
II hope you are not serio usly hurt |
General. fear I shall have to retire |
my troops, they are so much broken. -
But Jackson looked up at once and
exclaimed
You must hold your ground, Cen
eral Pender you must hold you1
ground, sir -
ibis was the last order he ever gave.
He was borne some distance to the
nearest house, and examined by the sur
geon /; and after midnight his left arm
was amputated at the shoulder.
When Lee was told that his most
trusted lieutenant bad been wounded,
he was greatly distressed, for the reIa-
tions between them were almost tender.
jackson has lost his left arm,'' said
Lee, "but have lost my right arm"

Fast Walking Farm Horses.

Profits are small Oh all farm products
and all kinds Of live stock at present,
and the farmer who makes money on any
investment IN his direct line OF business,
or by raising crops or stock, must watch
the corners closely and prevent, If posi-
be, anything that partakes of the nature
OF waste. The economy Of time is one
of the things to be looked after as close
ly as anything else, and which the kind
OF horses that are kept has considerable
TODD With. Compare the distance trav-
elled in day by strong, sturdy, fast
walking team with that which a slow,
creeping team will travel, aud the diff
ference will be surprising. If this diff
ference OF day is so noticeable, what
must that of year OF The average life.
time of horse be ? II the slow team
pulls plough or draws a load but
twenty miles per day, while the other
covers twenty-five miles with as little
fatigue, it is easy TO calculate what the
difference would be in year, and how
long it would take to gain a whole
years time by using the active instead
OF the slothful horses. AS the most of
farm work is done at the walking gait.
it is then the duty of the farmer to look
after the walking qualities of the horses
he breeds, as much as it Is for those who
breed fast horses to look after the speed
producing qualities of the horses they
rear. While much depends upon the
train 'ng Of horse as to whether he is
fast walker or not, there is a great
deal in the breeding. Some horses are
naturally fast walkers, and, like natural
fast trotters or PAGERS. can stand TO
work at their natural gait much better
than those which acquired the habit of
walking fast by being pushed. Active,
energetic horses, with an inclination
for getting over the ground with a
strong, square walk. will be more apt to
produce colts that will be a success in
this direction, thar clumsy horses with
sleepy dispositions. and these points
should be considered when selecting for
breeding purposes.

 good grade carbonate ores, and there is every prospect of stir in that section in l the near future. The rise in the price of copper will give an impetus to the
